About Converting Pounds per Cubic Centimeter to Long tons per Gallon
Pound per Cubic Centimeter and Long ton per Gallon both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
long tons per gallon = pounds per cubic centimeter × 1.689915975
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pound per cubic centimeter equals 453592.37 base units, and 1 long ton per gallon equals 268411.19719 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per cubic centimeter-to-long ton per gallon factor of 1.689915975.
Simple example
1 lb/cm3 × 1.689915975 = 1.689915975 long ton/gal
1 pound per cubic centimeter = 1.689915975 long tons per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 lb/cm3 × 1.689915975 = 1,689.915975 long ton/gal
1,000 pounds per cubic centimeter = 1,689.915975 long tons per gallon.

What is a pound per cubic centimeter?
Pound per Cubic Centimeter (lb/cm3) is a unit of density.
What is a long ton per gallon?
Long ton per Gallon (long ton/gal) is a unit of density.
Is the pound per cubic centimeter to long ton per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both pound per cubic centimeter and long ton per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1.689915975 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
